terrorism/eu_terrorism_fatalities_by_country: 13

The data source is the Global Terrorism Database (GTD). Raw data files from the GTD were retrieved on November 13, 2015; however, the raw data can not be made public. The data is freely available at the GTD website. Please see the GTD codebook -- the file GTD_Codebook_2015Final.pdf -- for more information.

Note: incident-level data for the year 1993 does not exist in the GTD database. However, in appendenix II of the codebook, GTD provides country-level summary statistics for that year; that data is included in the file country_stats_1993_appendix2.csv.

The FiveThirtyEight analysis is contained in the following files:
